To admit I don't know why they are so secretive and IMO all arguments are already on the table; the true is most likely a mix of them.

Anyway it is simply a fact: The first four Su-35 are in China and if the latest rumours are correct, it cannot be excluded that more will follow ... in the end, so what ?

Concerning the number of images, I know exactly 4 !

I think it's more a factory look then intentional.

This is more or less one of the "Traditional" Blue Schemes used on Flankers the world over. Chinese Su-35 - 20170131 - 1 XXL.jpg
The fact that the Roundels of Vietnam and the PLAAF are similar in shape does not help matters But I think this is more of a Factory thing as Russian Flankers have had a lot of Blue patterns.

Here are a couple Russian Air force Flankers that took part in Vigilant Skies 2011.

Remember, a Flanker, is a Flanker, is a Flanker! that my friend is a copy-righted AFB statement,,, even the T-50 is a Flanker!!

and they look great blue, that camo is kinda a Russian purty type camo, the new 056 come 055 sports a new camo that will prolly be a new go to on the 5 gen birds??? but its still a Flanker!

Supports the theory that the PLA bought Su-35's for operational needs, they will be wherever things are most likely to get hot. Or where there is the most need for actual intercepts, perhaps "unprofessional" ones?
